I'm sure you'll love Myanmar. I spent a few weeks there in '97 and found it a photographer's paradise. Also, accomodations and eats are embarassingly cheap.<br>
An F3 and 35/70 and 70/135 Nikkors were plenty enough firepower for me.<br>
I assume Yangon will be your port of entry. Be sure to visit the Schwe Dagon pagoda, both during the day, and when it's illuminated at night. <br>
Bagan is a dream if you're into temples. There are rental bikes available, but a better option is renting a horse cart for the day. They're cheap, the drivers know all the best sites and they just park under a tree and snooze while you're snapping away. Also, I second the idea of sunset from one of the taller temples. Don't expect solitude, though.<br>
Except for the mountains, it'll probably be pretty hot. Stay hydrated.<br>
Keep in mind that at Myanmar's latitude, the mid-day (10am to 2pm) sun is really contrasty too. Slide film is a PITA.<br>
Lastly, ignore the travel warnings above. Myanmar is one of the safest places I've traveled in all of Asia. Normal caution is recommended, but it's doubtful you''ll have any trouble.<br>
Good luck, enjoy your trip and post some shots when you get back<br>
